It's just the part about removing the blessing of light that I find confusing. You may be right about Midge taking off the training wheels, so to speak.
Hmm. . .with Mid's actions at Silvertear 15 years ago, the primals were unleashed into the land. Most of our Crystals of Light came from those selfsame primals. You might very well be right about it being his original covenant that had him strip away the power of the Crystals. But, then, if he's stripped away the aether of the Crystals, it would seem there'd be nothing left that we currently have to interest him. Though, he could also be playing the waiting game. Or, heck, it could be aspects of all of the above.
